Taste of Dublin
On 17 February 2025, Parrilla Ranelagh welcomed guests into its warm, vibrant space for an epicurean experience unlike any other. As part of the Taste Club series, Mastercard and Taste of Dublin curated an extraordinary evening that transported diners straight to the heart of Mexico—without setting foot outside Dublin.
A vision years in the making, Parrilla has quickly proven itself as the city's can't-miss culinary hot spot for upscale, authentic Mexican cuisine, blending bold spices with a bustling atmosphere that feels as celebratory as the food itself. At February's Taste Club event, guests indulged in a marvelous menu representing Mexico's rich gastronomic heritage, expertly paired with handcrafted cocktails featuring Casamigos small-batch tequila and mezcal.
From the first bite to the last sip, the night was a feast for the senses. Guests were treated to four courses of standout creations, including prawn tostadas that set the tone, and a decadent corn cake dessert that left an indelible impression on guests' palates. Every dish was designed to highlight the depth and artistry of Mexican flavors, elevating each forkful with high-end ingredients and meticulous preparation.
To complement the meal, three specialty cocktails featuring Casamigos tequila and mezcal were served, showcasing the brand's smooth, ultra-premium craftsmanship. Founded by George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Mike Meldman, Casamigos was established with the singular goal of making the best-tasting tequila that could be enjoyed straight, without the need for salt or lime. The thoughtfully paired cocktails enhanced each plate, perfectly harmonising gourmet bites and boozy beverages.
